:I'm not sure if you've seen our [[Oasis]] page which is an archive of the actual discussion that led to GTW moving hosts.

We have retained control of our site, been able to use designs and extensions to improve our editing and content, and not suffered from endless in-your-face advertising (try visiting GTAW when you're logged out). I'm pleased to hear you say you find this wiki is better in many regards, but as with everyone else I'll let you make your own decision about where to edit!

:I did read it when I found the page over on GTA Wikia. After you guys discarded Wikia, the wiki was a barren wasted page until some users stepped in and rebuilt it from the top. One user name WikisEditor was copying content here on Grand Theft Wiki and had his b'crat rights removed and has been blocked from Wikia entirely. McJeff and Tom were rebuilding GTA Wikia.

I'm going to be completely honest with you, back in late 2010, my Internet was turned back on after a year of inactivity. By the time, I was interested by GTA more because prior before my internet was out, I always looked up cheats. After I typed in GTA Cheats, GTA Wiki(a) popped up and I saw the wiki, the page was white and the activity there was low (if I can remember, an edit was made 5 hours ago). I went back to the search and I found Grand Theft Wiki. After I went on it, the pages were white and I noticed a lot of info regarding to the GTA games even info pieces I never heard of. I didn't know how to navigate myself around it but, I just clicked on any article that was there on the bottom and read interesting stuff.

As you said, I have my decisions to edit here or over there. I can choose both. The reason for GTA Wikia is that I'm patroller over there and I have to do my "patrolling", edits info and concocting ideas. A reason to edit here is because the accurate info here and the nice staff. As I said, gnomish edits here and there, but if I get the time and feeling, I'll edit often here.

Hi, I've removed your automatic block, which was a false-positive as discussed. I hope you enjoy the wiki! gboyerstalk 11:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
